A Change of Routine

Thanks to craigslist, Simon is getting a bumbo tomorrow! No idea why those things are so expensive, but they're all the rage right now. He's even getting the tray option which runs $10-$15. All this for only $25! Linda will be executing Operation Bumbo for us since the lady who has is works right next door to Aegon. So we got that goin' for us, which is nice.

Also, today was Simon's first day at the RC CDC (Rockwell Collins Childhood Development Center). It was a little nerve wracking with the packing and the labeling and the anticipation, but he did very good. We stayed with him a little at the beginning and he was just so alert and looking around, it was too cute. We totally didn't want to leave him.

But around lunchtime, I stopped by in my travel between buildings. He was just kicking away on a boppy starting at one of those hangy toy things. I'm thinking maybe I could build one of those for him. Might be fun, but I'm not sure it will have lights and sounds. We'll see. Rockwell's full of sparkies (Electrical Engineers) so maybe one of them can wire it with some LEDs and Dolby surround.

But they absolutely loved him at the CDC. He sucked down his bottles, cuddled with the caregivers and played on his back a lot. He was even in a good mood when he got home. All-in-all, it's been a banner day for Simon.

After today, Deborah and I feel a lot better about daycare. Even though Simon's primary teacher won't be there until Thursday, Marla was super as was Lori who was helping out temporarily. The open door policy is really great. After we sign in up front we can just walk back and hang out and play and visit other babies. Very cool.

We'll definitely blog more about this soon. But now, it's sleep time for the Curson-Vieira family.

Gute Nacht!
